Tomorrow the Portlands go away on an

their trip, and one each In the other league

Inc Sunday Telegram makes the following
sensible remarks regarding the stories that
nave been In circulation that the Portlands
have been dropping games: Manager
Spence some two weeks ago predicted that In
the usual run Of base ball Portland must
drop a little, sooner or later. and that no
team, however strong, could continue in an
unbroken chain of victories. This predic
tlon has been verified in the games of the
past week. The public can rest assured that
Mr.. Spence and his men have but one pur-
pose in view, and that Is to win more games
than any other club In the league. Players
feel too much Just pride in their records 10
purposely make errors or fail to make hits,
even though manager so directs, and Mr.
spence Is the last man to give such direc-
ton. He never has been noted for conced-
ing great deal, in the nature Of base ball,
10 MS opponents, and has refused on many
occasions to be party to any hippodrome
business. The fact Is, several Of the other
Teams are becoming strengthened and better
balanced. and the gap now existing between
them and the champions may be reduced and
possibly closed. temporarily. Portland can
and will undoubtedly retain the pennant, but
IN the meantime will suffer some defeats.
Such defeats should be construed as yicto-
teams"
